Gemini Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Just bought a new .223 Remington SPS with a 26" Varmint barrel, and although I have loaded for this calibre before I just wondered if anyone had a pet load that they would recommend.

rimfire4969 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 It depends on what size of pet are you going to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deershooter Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 26 grains of winchester 748 small rifle mag primer (as its a ball powder ) 55 grain head . This is the same as federal American Eagle but beeing handloaded with neck sized cases it shuld be as good as Federal Gold Medal shoots to less than 3/4 inch in my std ruger Deershooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxshooter243 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 for foxing and greycrows-27.7 grains of benchmark and 40 grain v max. for 600 yard targets-22 grains of benchmark and 69 grain sierra matchkings-you will need a twist rate of 1:10 or faster for the 69 grain bullets.......

casts_by_fly Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'm shooting H4198 with a Rem 7 1/2 and 40 gr v-max at the moment. I'm getting 0.75 MOA groups in my encore, but I want to tighten them up a bit. For my gun, it is shooting better the hotter I am loading. I've hit book max with no pressure signs (and slightly under velocity) so I'm going to slowly up the powder some more. Thanks, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macperc Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) http://stevespages.com/224_8_50.html cant beleive i am posting this for you. 25 grns v133 50grn blitzkings- 3400 fps. cz 527 20 inch barrel This doesn't look right, how do you achieve that fps from a 20" barrel? That looks like the figure for 25". Should be more like 3200. Edited February 2, 2010 by Macperc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
